GOAL
Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI)
mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was
used to analyse tissue sections from
cassette dosed drug metabolism and
pharmacokinetic (DMPK) models. The
ability to map the distribution of drugs and
their metabolites in the liver, alongside
endogenous lipid species is demonstrated.
Figure 1. DESI-MS images of the four drugs and endogenous lipid PC(34:2), [M+K]+ in liver
tissue sections from: 2 and 6 hour post-cassette dosed models, 2 and 6 hour discrete dosed
BACKGROUND models, and untreated control. Top left panel shows sample key.

THE SOLUTION
In this experiment using an orally dosed mouse
model, one cohort of animals was cassette
dosed with four drugs (Terfenadine,
Olanzapine, Moxifloxacin, and Erlotinib, at 25,
10, 10 and 25 mg/kg respectively) and a second
cohort was only dosed with Olanzapine at
25 mg/kg. A further cohort was vehicle dosed
to act as a control. Animals from each cohort
were euthanized at either 2 or 6 hrs post
administration and liver sections were then taken.
